history
In 1445 the place belonged to the care Frauenstein and in 1539 was parish to Frauenstein. The manor ruled the Frauenstein manor in 1551 . Reichenau was an official village from 1647. In 1834, part of the southern town of Neubau was incorporated. At that time Reichenau was part of the Frauenstein office. From 1856 to 1875 the administration was with the Frauenstein court office, then with the Dippoldiswalde administration . The district size of Waldhufendorf in 1900 was 1266 hectares . In 1925 the population of Reichenau was divided into 821 Evangelical Lutheran citizens and two Catholics . The official administration was converted into the Dippoldiswalde district (later the district) in 1952 . In 1994 it was merged with the Freital district to form the Weißeritz district. On January 1, 1994, the communities of Hartmannsdorf and Reichenau merged to form the new community of Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau, which has been located in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district, formed from the old Saxon Switzerland and Weißeritz districts since August 1 . Reichenau is the seat of the Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau municipal administration.
Mining
Mining was carried out in Reichenau for centuries . The subject of the mining were several silver veins of the so-called noble quartz formation (eq), which were located in an approximately 2,000 × 200 meter large mine field west of Reichenau. The most important mines were Friedrich August and Friedrich Christoph , the latter mine demonstrably delivering silver to Freiberg as early as 1520 . The processing plants ( stamp mills and smelting works ) were located in the Gimmlitztal southwest of Reichenau.
In the Thirty Years War , mining came to a largely standstill. The resumption was slow, as in the 18th century one repeatedly encountered areas of the old mining that had already been erased. The yield remained modest, with the Friedrich August mine delivering almost 187 kilograms of silver between 1711 and 1784. It was only at the end of the 18th century that new, more productive ore deposits could be developed. The Friedrich Christoph mine was able to achieve a yield of almost 2,800 kilograms of silver between 1787 and 1834. In 1834 the two pits were combined into one mine. For drainage, the Friedrich Christoph Stolln was extended as the deepest drainage tunnel from the Friedrich Christoph mine to the Friedrich August mine (total length approx. 2 kilometers). The years around 1850/1860 brought extensive ore eruptions again, in 1865 alone 477 kilograms of silver could be mined. However, further mining would have required an advance beyond the depth of around 200 meters reached so far . Due to the uncertainty about the suspected further ore deposits in deeper areas, this was not done for financial reasons. So the Reichenau mining was stopped in 1887/88. Later ventures did not get beyond exploration.
Extensive dumps , pingen shafts , the hut house of the Friedrich Christoph mine built in 1795 , the mouth of Friedrich Christoph Erbstolln and the exposed foundation walls of an old silver wash in the Gimmlitztal still bear witness to the mining industry .
